But with home prices reaching record heights, affordability plays a huge role for buyers. The typical home value in the United States was $362,156 in July, 2.8% higher than the year before. High mortgage rates are also making monthly payments more expensive; as of Aug. 22, the 30-year fixed mortgage rate sits at 6.46%.
